The IOP Student Science Publication Award, one of the ABSW Science Writers’ Awards, is now open for entry.
Launched last year, the award, supported by IOP Publishing and the Institute of Physics, recognises the contribution that student publishers make to science communication. It is open to student journalists who produce a regular science publication such as a newsletter or magazine (print or online).
